Thank you for the help.
There never was any forged piston noise. We changed all the bearings only the main bearings were installed incorrectly.
We flushed the engine, inspected the piston and cylinder walls, installed all the new bearings added oil and a new filter started the engine and all the noise is gone. No clutch noise, no piston noise and no oil pan noise. I'll test drive it and put some miles on the car before I know for sure its fixed.
We did start the car with fresh oil, warmed up the car, then flushed the oil out and changed the filter again. I know we might not have gotten all the particles out, so I'll change the oil again very soon and look for metal particles.
They were surprised that I didn't spin a bearing with the oil supply hole on the bottom half bearing.
Thanks again for the help,
Barry
